While many rookies would have wilted under a manager’s comparison of him to the great Rod Carew, Robinson Cano took Joe Torre’s assessment and made it ring true. That rookie campaign of 2005, Cano batted .297 with 14 HR and 62 RBI and just missing out on winning the Rookie of the Year Award. His rookie-season Louisville Slugger C271 Pro Model bat shows great game use with a cracked handle. The barrel displays many ball marks that include white leather scuffs, ink transfers and abrasions. The handle shows scuffing from contact with other equipment and the Yankees star has signed the barrel with his number “22” and “GU 05.” This bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1B04853) for the game use and a LOA from PSA/DNA (S10398) for the signature.
